Watt's the Limit is an incremental game where you operate lightbulb stress tests, mashing buttons and pulling levers to push equipment to failure. Reinvest your profits into upgrades and automation to unlock increasingly chaotic machinery. It combines incremental progression with physical interaction mechanics, offering a few hours of lighthearted destruction for players who enjoy both clicking games and absurdist premises.

AI Vibe-coded slop - the AI Disclosure is also a lie, the introduction to the game has a very clearly AI gif of a military-looking man playing (despite claiming no AI assets). You can tell because the lighting on his face goes nuts over the course of the gif. Looks awful.

Edit: While it is a little embarrassing that my previous comment replies were deleted, I will give some credit to the team behind the game, they've removed the offending gif. I maintain my stance that use of AI beyond aid (not replacement) for coding is unacceptable. If you're convinced that "AI is the future of gaming" I think you're just accepting the slop fed to you. You do not have to accept or play any game using AI if you don't want to and you're not obligated to support any game using it. Telling anyone to 'get with the times' or 'give up gaming if you don't want AI' are taking the coward's way out to ask nothing more of the companies that will always endeavor to take more from us while spending as little as possible.

The game's pace is nice, and it's fun to damage the light bulbs with different buttons. I think the game will speed up even more once automation is enabled.

A pretty fun little incremental. A bit like "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes" crossed with the incremental genre. Couple of really dumb achievements I can't be assed to chase but overall not a bad way to spend a few bucks and a few hours.
